Australia coach John Connolly has warned that the Springboks could be on the end of another loss if they don’t improve by next Saturday.

The Springboks conclude what has been a diabolical Vodacom Tri-Nations campaign against the Wallabies in Ellis Park in a fortnight and the irrepressible Conolly has never been one to miss an opportunity to land a psychological blow.

He warned the Springboks to “tighten up” their game, impliying the Wallaby backline could make them pay for lapses in concentration.
